We often spend our middle years mourning the "forever finished"—the relationships that vanished into silence and the longings we eventually buried just to survive the day. We fought to hang on until our hands grew tired, and then we let go, never expecting to see those fragments again. This message is a testimony to the Latter Year Surprises we would never have expected.Drawing from the profound promise of Psalm 107:9, we explore how God is not just a witness to our hunger, but the One who "squares things up in the end" when the road is longest. Based on the enduring truth of 1 Corinthians 13, we believe that because Love "hopes and endures all things," nothing is truly lost in the economy of Heaven. God acknowledges the weight of those years and the specific "silence" of those losses carried.If you are in a season of wondering if your deepest heart's desires have been forgotten, pull up a chair. We are here to talk about the God who is intensely interested in your longings and is faithful to "fill the hungry soul with goodness"—right when you thought the story was over. There is something deeply redemptive about the idea of God "squaring things up in the end"—not just as a matter of justice, but as a tender restoration of the heart's oldest longings."Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy."- James 5:11“It is a safe thing to trust Him to fulfill the desires which He creates."- Amy Wilsom Carmichael#DivineRestoration #LatterYears #Psalm1079 #SoulLonging #FaithfulGod #JoanieStahlsFieldNotes

In this powerful interview, author Lucinda Button joins us to pull back the curtain on the New Age movement. After years of searching for spiritual healing through various practices, Lucinda discovered that the "light" she was following was leading her deeper into a cycle of false peace and dangerous demonic intrusion.Lucinda shares the raw details of her journey—from the height of her New Age seeking to the moment of total surrender where Jesus met her in the darkness. This isn't just a story of change; it's a story of powerful deliverance and the supernatural grace that led her to write her life-changing book, New Age to Jesus.In this episode, we discuss: The high cost of "temporary peace" in New Age practices. The subtle and overt dangers of demonic intrusion. How to discern true spiritual healing from deception. Lucinda's dramatic salvation and the process of deliverance.Here is an excerpt from her book New Age to Jesus:New Age to Jesus by Lucinda Button is a powerful collection of ten real-life testimonies from individuals who journeyed through the deceptive paths ofNew Age spirituality, only to find lasting peace, purpose and truth in Jesus Christ. Each story is raw, honest, and deeply personal, offering insight into how spiritual seekers explored a range of practices and beliefs, but what they ultimately discovered was that the joy and peace they longed for could not be found in tarot cards, crystals, energy healing or mystical philosophies. It was only through faith in Jesus that they encountered true spiritual freedom. Whether you are questioning your current beliefs or supporting someone transitioning out of New Age ideology, New Age to Jesus equips you with understanding, empathy and encouragement."Satan is not particular what lie he tells you; one will work as powerfully as another if he can get you to believe it." - William Gurnall#NewAgeToJesus #Deliverance #Testimony #SpiritualHealing #JesusSaves #JoanieStahlsFieldNotes

What the world calls a "habit," the Word of God identifies as a yoke of bondage. Many sit in the pews every Sunday, carrying a secret weight that feels heavier than lead. You've been told it's just a "struggle," but your spirit knows it's a war. This channel is dedicated to those who are exhausted from the "try harder" cycle—those who feel that God has turned His face away in anger.Hear this truth: You are not an outcast; you are a captive, and Jesus Christ is the Breaker of Chains. We don't just look for sobriety; we seek Deliverance. We believe that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises a standard. This is a space where the "spirits" of this world are confronted by the Holy Spirit. No darkness is too deep for His reach, and no chain is too thick for His touch. Your hope is not dead; it is simply waiting to be awakened by the Truth."The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles."- Psalm 34:7"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." - John 8:36"God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the Captain of your salvation.'" - William Gurnall#PrisonersOfHope #SpiritualDeliverance #JesusBreaksChains #OutOfThePit #FaithOverAddiction #JoanieStahlsFieldNotes

From global geopolitical shifts to the comments section on social media, the spirit of rage is palpable. But is this just "the way things are," or is there something deeper—and more dangerous—happening in the spirit?In today's message, we dive into the biblical context of anger in the Last Days. We explore the thin line between righteous indignation (the God-like hatred of injustice) and the destructive wrath of man that James 1:20 warns us "worketh not the righteousness of God."In this message, we discuss:The Spiritual Intrusion: How uncontrolled anger acts as a doorway for satanic influence and becomes an instrument of ruination.The Power Paradox: Why anger feels like strength but is actually a grave weakness of character.The Root Cause: Why anger is almost always a symptom of deep, buried pain and unhealed wounds.The Path to Peace: How to stop the cycle of rage and seek the Lord for genuine emotional and spiritual healing. Anger doesn't build; it only tears down. If you find yourself "always mad," it's time to stop fighting the symptoms and start healing the source."Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil." — Ephesians 4:26-27Watch until the end to learn how to surrender your "right" to be angry and find the peace that surpasses understanding.""Do nothing when you are out of temper, and then you will have the less to undo." ~ Charles H.

We are currently navigating a 3-D material world, yet every second we spend is an investment into our eternal future. In today's message, we explore the sobering truth that our days were ordained before we even drew our first breath. As King David declared, "My times are in Your hand." If God knows the number of our days, how should that change the way we live today? Time is a serious matter.In this video, we discuss:The illusion of "promised" time vs. the reality of eternity.Why time is the most critical resource entrusted to us.Understanding God's sovereignty over our birth and our passing.How to put the Lord before us daily until He calls us home.Don't wait for a "better time" to seek Him. Make use of your time on earth before you enter the timeless eternity—the cloudless day."Oh let my love with fervour burn, and from the world now let me turn; living for Thee, and Thee alone, bringing Thee pleasure on Thy throne; only one life, 'twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last." - C.T.

In today's message, we examine the sobering reality of a world plunged into radical deception. With the rise of AI and sophisticated digital manipulation, the line between reality and fabrication has blurred to the point of disappearing. As Isaiah 59:14 warns us, "Truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." We explore what happens to the human soul when lying becomes normalized and justice is pushed aside. There is a profound spiritual danger in this hour: when you believe a lie and become convinced of it, you eventually become "one" with that lie, defending it as if it were the ultimate truth. This is the exact pattern of the Fall in the Garden of Eden, and it is how the enemy is operating in these last days.Satan is the author of lies, but Jesus reminds us that "No lie is of the truth." If you are feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of the world, this video is a call to return to the only unshakable foundation. "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthian 3:11.We discuss: The psychological and spiritual mechanics of deception.Why millions are "feeding" on falsehoods in the current culture.How to use the Word of God as a lamp to navigate the darkness.Realigning your life with Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Don't let the darkness deceive you. Stay grounded, stay in the Word, and keep your eyes on the Light. "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." - Psalm 119:105"Truth is no trifle; men will kill for it. Truth has ever been costly; expect, therefore, that it will demand your life, or something as dear as life, if you are faithful to it."- Charles Spurgeon

In this message, we are smashing the "perfect illusions" of modern Christianity. So many believers feel like they are constantly on God's chopping block, living in fear that their struggles are a sign of failure rather than what they truly are: the refining fire of God.We often treat our faith like "high-performance spiritual athletics," racing toward a finish line of perfection that doesn't exist on this side of heaven. In doing so, we miss the joy of the journey and the beauty of the Holy Spirit's slow, deliberate work within us. Now is the time to start moving away from "spiritual performance" toward the authentic, refining fire of God. This is a shift many believers are desperate for. Essentially moving from a veneer of perfection to a vessel of glory. So much wisdom and deep things of God are being tragically missed in lieu of religous burn-out methods that have only served to exhast everyone.If you feel broken, weary, or like you're constantly failing the "perfection test," this word is for you. God isn't looking for a polished facade; He is looking for a heart willing to walk through the fire to become like pure gold."But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."— Job 23:10. “We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.”― Oswald Chambers

In a world defined by uncertainty and shifting shadows, where can we find a firm place to stand?In this message, we dive deep into the sovereignty of God—the truth that nothing escapes His eye and nothing moves without His permission. We explore why believing God's Word is the highest honor we can give Him, and how total abandonment to Jesus Christ transforms our fear into unshakeable peace.In this video, we discuss:Prophetic Preparation: Recognizing the signs of the times without losing our peace.The Power of the Word: Why standing on His promises is our greatest strength.Holy Patience: Giving God the room to move and answer prayers in His own unique style.Our Divine Identity: Living as vessels of love and care under the Father's faithful protection.If you are feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world, let this message remind you that you are a child of God, held by a King who is in total sovereign control.

With the world in turmoil and hearts failing for fear of what is coming upon the earth, it can be difficult to find a firm place to stand. In this message, we share a raw and honest reflection on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ in the midst of deep trials, losses, and dark nights.Through decades of experience, we have found that while our circumstances may change, God never does. We are not speaking from a place of ease, but from the heat of the fire, where Jesus has proven Himself more than faithful. We look at the promise of John 16:33, where Christ warns us of tribulation but commands us to be of "good cheer" because He has overcome the world.This video is an exaltation of the Lord's immutable character. It is a reminder that God uses our hardest seasons to develop a peaceable assurance that cannot be shaken by the news or the economy. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or weary, let this testimony encourage you. He has carried us through every war and every storm, and He will surely carry you too.

In this message, we reflect on a tragic moment that occurred on the first day of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, Australia. What was meant to be a day of joy and community became a day of mourning due to an unthinkable act of violence. It serves as a stark reminder that even in seasons of celebration, darkness can feel overwhelming. But the story doesn't end in the dark. We discuss why the "darkest evil" cannot extinguish the Light that entered our world. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Light of the whole world—the richest gift ever given and the true Hope for every person, regardless of their circumstances. If you are struggling to find joy this season, this message is for you. In this video, we cover: The reality of "holiday grief" and emotional weight. Honoring those lost at Bondi Beach. How the Light of Christ offers a hope that the world cannot take away. We want to hear from you: If you are walking through a "dark night" this holiday season, please know you are not alone.

Growing up feeling forgotten, unloved and utterly unseen. Amy's deep need for attention drew her down a treacherous path. From the unstable environment of her early life to the revolving door of foster care homes. Amy sought acceptance everywhere. She chased validation as an aspiring model, only to find herself drawn into the seductive promises of the New Age movement. Her search for spiritual fulfillment quickly plunged her deeper still into the occult, leading to darkness and spiritual bondage.In this powerful testimony, Amy openly shares the truth of her darkest moments and the breathtaking moment she was powerfully saved by encountering the true, unconditional love of Christ. Where The Wounds Were is a story of radical redemption, proving that no matter how deep the wounds, complete healing and an eternal home can be found."There is a way out.

Jesus admonished us to give, but today, many are held back by the fear of what it will financially cost them, while others feel they have nothing to give. This has created a spiritual drought in the Church—a great lack of selfless generosity. Much of giving has been grossly distorted and monetized by a post-modern gospel, a far cry from the overflowing mercy and community found a century ago. This video cuts through the confusion to reveal the original, ceaseless flow of Christian generosity. We are vessels of mercy. We receive mercy from God, and that divine love is meant to flow continually through us to others. Thanksgiving is for only for one day, but our lives are meant for every day giving until the end of our lives. Giving is not an obligation; it is our greatest living purpose. As John 3:16 declares, God gave us the greatest gift of His Son Jesus because He so loved the world. It's time to stop hoarding and start pouring out. Give yourself away in the love streams of Jesus, quenching the thirst of those who are desperate, lonely, and afraid. In this video, we dive into: The true meaning of Jesus's command to give. How the modern "monetized gospel" has ruined true generosity. The antidote: Living as a vessel of ceaseless mercy. Why the fear of financial loss is misplaced. The power of giving what you think you don't have. Join the conversation in the comments! What does true, Christ-centered giving look like in your life?

It is not always the same for everyone. There are way too many circumstances and it is not a one-size-fits-all application. Everyone that is truly walking in the Spirit of the Lord desires to forgive. There are many that are sincere but the pain is too great and forgiving is the hardest thing. Forgiveness is one of the most challenging commands Jesus gives us, but it's also the doorway to true freedom. In this message, we dive deep into the real struggles we face when trying to forgive those who have hurt us. It can feel impossible, but the good news is that we don't have to do it alone. Discover the incredible beauty and power of the Lord that works in and through us. We'll explore how practicing forgiveness—not just as a one-time event, but as an ongoing spiritual exercise—leads to deep healing and lasting peace. This message will equip you with the courage to let go and step into the life of freedom Jesus intended for you. The power of His enduring, timeless love alone makes it possible. We cannot do it without Him."To be a Christian is to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." - C.S.

Anyone can say they know God but will never understand Him.God speaks for Himself in this matter in Jeremiah 9:23-24:"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord."Notice that God made sure to place the word "understand" before "know." That really sunk in. He wants us to understand Him, and that opens the door to knowing Him. There can never be a knowing Jesus unless you understand Him. The two must go together or you will be serving Jesus Christ on our own terms.These days people are so filled up with all kinds of religious angles, duties, religious exercises and more in their own attempts to master their own kind of brand of relationship. Years and years later they go on searching and struggling.There is no glory in riches, wisdom and might of our own doings to get to know God. However, the emphasis is not in what you do or ever can or will do. The ultimate glory according to God is understanding Him, or there cannot be any kind of a healthy relationship at all with Him. The earth demands riches, wisdom and might. God exercises lovingkindness, judgment and righteousness.When you do understand Him then you can walk with Him in harmony and joy. Understanding is the foothold of all-love."To some of us, there often comes a such a sense vastness of things and or our own significance." - Amy Carmichael

The first time decades ago when I read Psalm 146 it became the richest ground I planted seeds of faith into. Since then, that tree of faith has now blossomed into great boughs of rich bountiful fruit that continues to feed, support me and give me deep comfort and rest as well as to many others along the way.Today (v.2) especially stood out to me: " While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being." The part that says, "any being" is the golden nugget of it. There are times in our lives we are too troubled and weary that we cannot pray. Other times where we cannot see through the veil of our tears to read the word. When we are so grieved, exhausted and tired and have barely "any being," we can lean into God, tuck ourselves into Him and completely trust Him.We can still "sing praises to our God." Jonathan and I discuss the times in our own lives that we felt exactly these ways. We share our stories and victories through long life and faith. We pray you will be filled with hope in "the God of Hope," and rest in His care for your lives."He hath never forsaken them that fear and love Him." He has never forsaken us and He will never forsake you either. "He giveth power to the weary." You can depend on Him. He is worthy of your trust."Past tears are present strength." - George MacDonald

The set up of these passages reveals the entire life of the believer from youth to old age in beautiful sequence. From what we begin like to what we become at the end. Jonathan and I shared experiences and the depths of God's love.I have read these passages for over five decades, yet today a light shown on a verse that became a little hidden jar of manna tucked away. The verse reads: "But "THEY' that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength..." I clearly saw that our strength is not in our youth, or in later years, but when we become old in the faith. The lesson is waiting on Jesus Christ. Jonathan and I discuss the journey from the perspective of our own long lives. The waiting on the Lord practiced out becomes faith's quiet rest. A happiness comes from God as we age because the waiting is not idleness, but the sweetest abiding in long experience of His promises and work of the Holy Spirit. "Whoso leaneth on the Lord, happy is he." - Proverbs 16:20.''"The disciple's maturest manhood is only the perfection of his childhood. George Muller was never so really, truly, fully a little child in all his relations to his Father, as when in the ninety-third year of his age." - D.L. Moody

Could it be that the man who appeared to Paul in a vision at night saying to him, "Come unto Macedonia and help us," is this same man here in Acts 27:2, who became a faithful traveling companion of Paul and his company? I think perhaps so.When Paul and his company left Macedonia Aristarchus went with him to help them. Paul later mentioned him in his list of fellow laborers and fellow prisoners. Even in the vision Paul had that was brought about by Aristarchus' love-soaked yearning prayer to God, he did not ask for help only for himself, but said, "help us!" You see a beautiful, believing man of God, a praying man full of faith and selflessness.That desperate prayer to the Lord for help was heavy laden with a wrenching call for Paul to come to them. He clearly asked for him by name.I believe while that "man" was crying out in prayer, Jesus allowed Paul to actually see it as it was happening by the Holy Spirit in real time. To see him actually in the throes of prayer screaming out, "Lord send Paul!...then doubling down yells out even louder, "Come unto Macedonia and help us!"What a powerful window into the fathomlessness of prayer. Jesus did not just do this for a historical mark or ancient recorded account, but for us to "see prayer," and the power and action of it. To see that there are no limits.You may not ever have a night time vision of someone calling out to you for help the same way Paul received it. But never disregard the slightest touch by the Holy Spirit in the spirit of your mind or heart, of a name, a thought or a flash image of a face. Because that very well may be the Lord revealing to you personally the cry for help by that soul who's seeking Christ in prayer, and He is calling you to answer that call in prayer for them. This is a very serious matter.There are so many Aristarchus's in this world all around you. And by your obedience to pray, you gain a fellow laborer who becomes one who will travel mightily with you in the company of Jesus.Who is "glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength, I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save." Isaiah 63:1."Look into the visible until you can see the invisible." - Anon

As I have read 2 Timothy over the decades, this chapter has been speaking to me more and more. I have seen these words coming alive as if God has waited to show things I had not seen before because it was not yet time.Paul instructed Timothy to "Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures..." (v.13). There were three words that stood out to me: "From a child." There are things that we have learned first from our childhoods that God wants us to return to in remembrance and to never give them up as long as we live. There was also something else Paul made sure to note, which is a record of the names of people who once walked with him and who left him along the way.Yet, there were two who were his true companions until the end. Still, Paul stood alone saying, "That all they which are in Asia be turned away from me." (v. 1:15). All said goodbye to him but not Jesus Christ whom Paul said, "No man stood with me, but all men forsook me...Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me." (4:16-17).There is One, Jesus our Lord who never says goodbye but only says, "Come unto Me." He will never give up on you. He has made a sure promise to never leave you or forsake you no matter what. He is "A Friend that sticketh closer than a brother." Be comforted in this truth and rest in His love that endureth forever.Paul said goodbye to Timothy and saw him again later on in glory. Jesus will do the same for you."Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love." - Charles Spurgeon

He shared on an interview that Jesus had come to him in a dream. Revealing to him that the time of the rapture would be on one of two dates of September 23rd or 24th. He was quoted saying, "I am a billion percent sure."Then overnight the whole world was set on fire and hundreds of people from all over the world were posting videos "confirming" that Jesus told them this was the truth. They began selling their homes, surrendering their pets over to the shelters. They stopped paying their bills and rent. People livestreamed the event and believed the rapture would come. However, those dates came and went. I am one of them that stands firm on the authoratative truth and belief that NO MAN knows when the rapture happens. Only Jesus Christ knows when He coming, and I believe it will be soon. Keep yourself in the Lord. Stay in the word. Pray for discerment, pray about everything. Stand on HIS word and never on the singular testimony of one person especially regarding this matter.Shalom to you in the love of Jesus Christ our Lord."Satan is not particular what lie he tells you; one will work as powerfully as another if he can get you to believe it." - William Gurnall

Mass hysteria has taken over the most veteranized believers, and extreme emotionalism now reigns as king. It reminds me exactly of what happened that day in Ephesus after Paul cast out a spirit of divination from a girl. "And the whole city was filled with confusion...they rushed with one accord into the theatre...Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together." (Acts 19:29,32). I cannot think of a better descriptive picture of what "Christian" landscape has now sadly become. Its our time right now to focus on only one Person...Jesus Christ, who's been such a good friend to us, who has walked us through everything, who fought all our battles and won them for us. Who loved us when no one else did, who forgave us and called us His friends. There is only one Person that we must behold now, "and not another." Kingdoms come and kingdoms go, people live and people die, but Who and what is eternal is our sight. Never forget Him for one moment, never take the eyes of your love off of Jesus Christ. One glance away is all it takes to begin the fading away of His Presence."All that is not God is death.”― George MacDonald, Unspoken Sermons

All of which came and went like tumbleweeds blowing through towns and are forever forgotten.However along with all of that there have been real men and women of God who stuck to the word and prayer. They did not follow movements. They did not give their ears over to false voices and "any minute now" prophecies. All of which never came to pass. They kept a steady, faithful, pure continuance in the Presence of Jesus Christ. They were quiet, unassuming people of few words if any. Yet they could walk into any place and whole rooms stood still. They kept themselves from running with religious crowds, they rejected and shunned any attention. Things, movements and individuals can quickly become idols if we do not discern them instantly by the Spirit of the Lord. "For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word." - Isaiah 66:2.Seek to be this kind of person, and walk with the Lord in continual consistency in His Presence. This is what He wants and who He sees.“For a Presence breathes over the silent hills, and its sweetness is living yet; The same deep calm all the hillside fills, as breathed over Olivet."- Selected

Every day lives are affected by all kinds of voices. Voices of the living and voices of the past that are still speaking their stories, works and faith. Our own voices impact life all around us for the good and the bad. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."- Proverbs 18:21.Last Wednesday Charlie Kirk's died in a horrific flash moment while he was speaking. Voices from the media were all saying, "A great voice was taken away from us today." The nation was stunned, and all voices were stopped in silent shock. As I pondered the unponderable, a thought crossed my mind. God's voice is not stopped and can never be taken away. Which means our voices will ever go on filling this dark world with words of eternal life while we live. The greatest voice in the world is the voice of Jesus Christ and His word. And by the Holy Spirit we will go on sowing His words until the end. Until we are taken off earth's stage by God Himself.Meditate on the what this means and use your voice in prayer always. Then go and speak in the power of His love being witnesses unto Christ. You will never know the feeling of what it means to be carried about on eagles wings until you soar in His words towards others in your lifetime. I have tasted it and there is nothing like it. I will never live and serve Christ any other way.“Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.” ― Oswald Chambers

The Bible is full of stories, outcome testimonies and promises that are for all circumstances in life, and for extreme cases. We believe and rely on them and have expectation.The believer that is made alive in the Lord is always ready to help and pray. Giving is always joy and it makes us feel full of the power of God's love to perform it.However, I want to mark out how there are certain individuals that we come across that are very desperate, in dire straits, facing impossible situations. We spring into action because we love them and want them delivered. But there is a problem. Many times there is frustration because as much intense prayer, and working with them, teaching, sharing the word, they are never better. There is never any change.I have experienced this many times in my life. We are never to be weary in well-doing, but there are things God has to teach us, and show us. Therefore, we are to go through these things ultimately to trust God and Him alone completely for them. This is not a compensatory saying but one of wisdom. We must learn that there is no one more merciful than Jesus Christ Himself. We have to learn to bow and give them up to the Lord with as much joy we had when we first started to believe for them."A whole lot of what we call 'struggling' is simply delayed obedience." - Elisabeth Elliot

It does not take long for tens of thousands to take a hold of these messages becoming convinced of their validity and truth because of external signs and confirmations. Lately there has been a message that has gone epically viral regarding the timing of the day of the Rapture. The dates fall on the 23rd or the 25th of September depending on the timing of the Feast of Trumpets. Many are convinced it will be so. Since the first time I listened to the video I have spent time in much prayer and meditating on it. I have gone over the details of the information asking God about it and I have never received a witness of it as of yet. What is most important to me above everything external is the witness of the Holy Spirit within my own spirit and not looking for outward signs. I do not trust outward signs especially these days of perilous deception. However, there are times that are appropriate that we must ask God to show us a sign for something in regard to critical choices needing to be made. It is of tantamount and critical importance to me in a deeply personal way that what is to be believed and accepted must be inwardly verified by God irrefutably. IF the rapture happens on or around those days then it will be wonderful, and I will be thrilled to go. But if not, then there must be a readiness to continue on as faithfully as before with joy until it happens. These are my quiet humble expressions relating to these things respectively."Always keep a quiet heart."- Elisabeth Elliot

Yes, her eyes were kept from the revealing of who it was she was talking with face to face. Yet I see something more. So many illustrations and visual depictions of what the resurrected Christ looked like all seem to be the same. I too have had the same thoughts of Him in brilliant shining garments 'other worldly,' glimmering in afterlife heavenly apparel. Like in the Mount of Transfiguration when, "He prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering." Luke 9:29.But that could not be the case here. Mary's eyes were withheld from seeing Him on purpose. "She knew not that it was Jesus." But she recognized Him as a gardener by what He was wearing. Gardeners during those days wore simple, practical clothing as other working-class people adapted for manual labor, which distinguished them from wealthy individuals. They wore a knee length tunic of two pieces sown together made of linen or wool. They wore a belt of cord or cloth, or leather to hold tools. They wore a heavy outer garment to protect them from the hot sun and weather, and simple leather sandals. The colors of the tunic were undyed natural earth colors like off whites, browns and grays. I believe that Jesus wanted it this way on purpose. Because though His work was done, our work is not. "In other words, "I am still working with you."These humble gardener's garments must be ours all the days of our lives as His laborers in the earth. So, we too will always be seen as the gardeners of the Lord...sowing seeds of eternal life and light.“I have one desire now - to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.”― Elisabeth Elliot, Through Gates of Splendor

He was not just asking him why, He knew why.I get a greater, deeper sense that He was saying this in essence with another meaning. As if He was saying to him in other words, "Why are you here? You had time to not be here by choice after I sent you out earlier."Jesus calling Judas "Friend," was the thing. As if He was really saying to him, "You don't have to be here." He still counted him and held his place for him as "Friend." That was a well intentioned, direct- to-the-heart word. There may be a night hour in your life where Jesus will be meeting you in a dark place which used to be the garden you used to dwell with Him in. But became a place of compromise and dwelling in shadows of shame because you "wandered out of the path of the cross. But it is different now, Jesus goes to those who have wandered away from Him. He goes looking for them. To those who are hiding in darkness, in the shadows of sin, in fluid sorrow, too ashamed to go to Him. To those, "Who used to go with Him into the house of God in company."Whom He will say in that same loving voice Judas knew knew so well, "Friend," wherefore are you here?" As in that same familiar comforting sound Mary Magdelene heard from her resurrected "Friend," whom she thought to be the gardener...."Mary." Jesus never stops calling you "Friend," in times of failure. And in that very place, "returning and rest, quietness and confidence," will be restored. "And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain." - 2 Samuel 23:4"Keep on the path with the mountain in view."- Amy Carmichael

At the same time I had been feeling stagnated in my messages. This began happening a while before the event. For two whole weeks after everything came about I found myself emptied and dry, and it felt like I was a desert within a desert. Everything changed. I had so many questions for the Lord and only a blank canvas stood before me. I could not sleep, and was not just praying, I was wrestling in prayer. "Hungry and thirsty my soul fainted within me...I found no city to dwell in."I am a woman of faith so it was not that I was lacking faith. My faith was intact. I was so restless. Until one morning an update from a beautiful friend of mine who has cancer and is in dire need came to me. She told me how sick she is and how there has been no mercy shown towards her from anyone, even her own family. In a moment my heart burned with love for her and God's rescuing mercy was enflamed in me. I felt a rushing in my spirit and my heart burst out in hot, fiery love for her. God's love in burning fury grabbed a hold of me and everything made sense in my service to His throne for the rest of my life.This IS the wonderful works of the Lord that God wants, and He is ready and willing right now to let His power flow through us to others. We are all called to be vessels of His mercy and to live for Christ in fiery burnings of His love. He will take care of the rest of all our needs. There are no blank canvases with God. "The mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children." - Psalm 103;17 “If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.”― Oswald Chambers

Though years of trials and wars, there are always new fields not fought in yet. I had to wrestle in prayer to get my footing.There were sleepless tossings and turnings. "I watered my couch with tears," several times, and finally, I found my balance again. I began to come up for air and scenes from the Bible and words of the Lord began to flood in. His light shone and I was strenthened. I thought of Paul the Apostle who was one man aboard a ship full of men. It was the Lord who met him one night during the fierness of the storm and told him all on the ship would be saved. Moses and Phineas stood up as the only ones among tens of thousands who prayed to God, and His wrathful judments were halted. There are many more examples. The Lord showed me this morning that there are many trials that are very hard and unbearable. That if He allows a trial to come to you, it is not just for you. It is for many others later on because He knows He can trust you to "go down into sea in ships to do business in great waters." To go down into the depths, in darkness. He knows that when you are at your wits end, you will pray like Moses and Phineas did. He does this because He knows through you, many will be liberated by His great force of love and power. It says, "Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for His sake." (Phil.2:19). A word like this to you, "It is given," takes the ache from battle wounds."You will lean into His arm and like Paul, you will say to others who are desperate, "I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me," and many will live because you stood for Christ, and Christ stood by you in the deeps at night.

In older age we are experiencing harder things that are unavoidable but our "strength is firm," because we have been fighting our way to heaven by faith in God. The outcome is always sure and our hopes are never disappointed. Jon and I are facing a new time in our lives after his recent heart attack. We know the Lord is with us and our future is in His hands. I love these words by Amy Carmichael that have become very dear to me in old age. They are inscribed in my Bible and referenced often:"We stand, when we are young, on the sunny slope among the pines, and look across an unknown country to the mountains. There are clouds, but they are edged with light. We do not fear as we dip into the valley; we do not fear the clouds. Thank God for the splendid fearlessness of youth. And as for older travelers whom the Lord has led over the hill and the dale, they have not been given the spirit of fear. They think of the way they have come since they stood on that bright hillside, and their word is always this: There are reasons and reasons for hope and for happiness, and never one for fear." - Amy Carmichael "We were cast down but not destroyed." - 2 Cor.4:9

Whether it be for spiritual renewal or needing to physically rest or emergencies that happen. Attention must then be singulary focused on critical matters.Yesterday my husband had a medical emergency so I need to step away for a brief period to just focus on him and be there around the clock for "just-in-case" phone calls. I know things will be okay and God is in this completely. We are not out of the woods yet, but God is in the woods with us. I just wanted to ask for your most valuable prayers and let you know I will be away for a little while, but not too long. Perhaps a couple of weeks or less depending on how things turn out. Thank you so much for your love and prayers. I expect to see you soon with good news that I am sure will be ours to proclaim. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.I have lived a long life now and can attest to the solid truth of His promises. He has been the best Friend I have ever had."But God is the God of the waves and the billows, and they are still His when they come over us; and again and again we have proved that the overwhelming thing does not overwhelm. Once more, by His interposition, deliverance came. We were cast down, but not destroyed." - Amy Carmichael

I could not get them out of my mind for days. It had to do with the sabbatical rest of the land. Out of the whole context of the portion of these verses were these words regarding the land, "thou shalt let it rest and lie still." Exodus 23:10-11.There is a sabbath of rest God wants for His people and animals. The one for the land spoke so much deeper than ever before. It is one thing for man and animal to rest for one day. But God did not want the land to only have one day. He wanted it to have an entire year and there was a good reason why. The seventh year the seeds were sown in more abundance knowing that for an entire year it was not to be touched. It was during that time, the land brought forth three times more than during the seven years. See Leviticus chp. 25 for more details.The poor of the land were then allowed to casually walk through and take as much as they wanted. The animals were not driven like out like ususal, but were allowed to partake in what the poor left behind. There was rest for the weary creation. There was no limit of mercy.There must come a time in our lives that we let our land "rest and lie still," and do nothing, that we become refreshed. That in so doing, we will yield more to others in refreshed abundance in stead of working in the brick yards of Pharaoh's "iron smelting furnace," for a handful of barely.""Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength... It is wisdom to take occasional furlough. In the long run, we shall do more by sometimes doing less."- Charles Spurgeon

That is, the act of giving in a post-modern world. Hearts have become hardened because the thought of giving most always lies in its relationship to money. But that is not always what giving is about most of the time. So much is lost.The foundation of giving is powerfully rooted deeply in God's love. Love always gives because it cannot help but give. It does not hesitate to give what a person needs in a moment. There is freedom in giving when love is at it's source. It is naturally spring-loaded.Giving is not always in money, but in the act of doing something. Something not forced or dutiful and discernment as its officer. Giving is as beautiful and refreshing as a pure crystal clear mountain stream passing through a barren, windswept wasteland in the wilderness of people's lives. Many times the giving of money is not always what God has in mind. Because it takes the place of giving away of oneself and great lessons of living-mercy are swept away. Only a cold hand to hand loveless transaction. There are great losses for the giver of money. Giving oneself away in many day to day things, or in hard things others are suffering is the way of the Lord. It is the well-trodden path of the Master.Giving is from God. When you are filled with His love, there is no limit to what you can do through His eternal loving supply. Whatever you give to others in offering to the Lord, He will replace to give away more as long as it is done in the Spirit of His love. We become waterwheels of the Lord's open hand."The greatest joy of a Christian is to give joy to Christ."- Charles Spurgeon

There is the fear of the Lord, but that stands alone and is not anything like the fears in this life. It is a distinct fear that comes when God calls you to do something you do not feel you measure up to. Where you think you will seriously blow it, do it wrong, be rejected. This is the fear of humility. The kind of fear that is enveloped in the fear of the Lord. When you are afraid of disappointing Him. Afraid you are being prideful or going ahead of Him, for example.There is a certainty that it is from Him, and the praying begins, as there is a kind of pressing by the Holy Spirit. The thing being asked to do by the Lord only intensifies and no matter how much it is questioned in prayer, God only increases it instead.Finally there comes a time that acquiesence and acceptance comes, yet the fear remains. Sometimes the Lord chooses not to give the courage at first but later. Having courage means you need to feel the fear and go for it anyway. There is a spiritually powerful war-like method to it. If we were to wait to feel fearless every time we are called into a hard thing, then we would lose an edge God wants us to have. Our faith would become empty and lifeless. I love the words of Elisabeth Elliott who said, "Sometimes fear does not subside, one must choose to do it afraid." There is a great advantage to understanding and growth that can come no other way. The outcome is always glorious and full of victory.Going afraid becomes a choice when you realize God is not going to take it away. Then you choose to go being afraid because you fear the Lord of Love much greater. Then the fear departs in the going and you "mount up with wings as eagles...you fly high above the earth.""The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty, and so is the Christian. The very nature of the calling precludes a life of ease." - William Gurnall

Something that has powerfully moved your heart like the trees in the wind. Where you feel your heart throbbing because of it? Did you notice that it goes even further than that where it grows and intensifies? Then it gives birth to a potent message within that must come out. Many times this happens to me because of something I see or hear. Something that moves me out of the shadows of the norm, and into the bright sunlight of bravery and courage to arise and say the message. There is an other-worldly fearlessness that enters in. The message is always alive bursting out of my heart where the King sits enthroned. It is His message and it is from His own heart to mine. It is what He sees and hears. The word is a given word and it is spoken in a quickening, fearless way with a sharpness "like the clear heat upon the herbs." As soon as the word is spoken there are many that do not like it. They hate the spiritually bright sunlight power of the message and quickly scorn it. They are like Michal King David's wife. "When the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart." 2 Samuel 6:16.People will despise you in their hearts when you are full of the power of the Holy Spirit and give messages from Jesus Christ. King David's sword-like reply to her was that he would go on doing it even more because God called Him to be the leader of Israel. She wound up being barren unto the day of her death. There is a difference between stirred up hearts for the Lord and those that are despisers in heart. One goes on living in the power of the endless life, while the other lives on in deathly barrenness. "I implore you, be afraid of nothing so much as of this false fear - this foolish, worldly wisdom that hesitates between God and self, between vice and virtue, between gratitude and ingratitude, between life and death."- Fenelon

Matthew 24:3-4.The first thing Jesus was straightly clear about was, "Take heed that no man deceive you." That is the first command we strongly lay hold of because deception comes through lying. Lying is the language of the devil. He lied first to Eve in the Garden that cost both her and Adam their lives. That lie murdered their spirits and set the course for the perpetual lie that is still claiming lives for all eternity.Jesus said of him in John 8:44, "He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." Lies lead people down dark paths that lead to eternal spiritual death.Just yesterday the president and those under him blatantly lied to all the people of this nation. That lie covered up the truth that demanded hard handed judicial accountability. We see that "truth has fallen" like a slain man in the streets of this nation.There now stands a monument in this land to an egregious miscarriage of justice for the innocents. The devil knows the nature and depravity of man when he answered the Lord saying, "Yea, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.” Job 2:6, and that is exactly what shamefully happened.Jesus Christ is the King of Truth and Light. "There is no shadow of His turning." There is no lie, no cover up, no "rocks and mountains to hide from the face of Jesus Christ." "But we with open face do behold the glory of the Lord," and we walk in the light of His truth and put all confidence and hope in Him who is the God of all Truth."It is not the man decked out in morality or philosophical virtues who will repel a full charge of temptation sent from Satan's cannon; it is the man suited up in armor – that is, in Christ." - William Gurnall

It has now become widespread and deadly with unimaginable horror and impact.Twenty three little girls were swept away and their parents are in great terror and grief, hoping against hope their daughters will be found. A few girls have been found, but the others remain missing so far. The death toll is rising and it is still not over yet.Up to twenty eight RV's were swept away with people, whole families and children in them. Others in cars and homes were killed and many still are unaccounted for. Not to mention beloved animals of all kinds are gone.This was a super charged shocking event that has left everyone speechlessness. Striking terror, grief and fear have gripped everyone. Many strong, faithful believers that love God are wondering why? Why did God allow this to happen? This is the big question. We cannot answer for God, and there are many things we will never understand or know in this lifetime. However, God does answer for Himself in His word. This video was not an easy one for me. What has happened is very solemn and words are very difficult to come by. I only humbly let the flow of my heart speak in submission of love towards God. We are praying for you Texas, we are covering you with hedges of feathers of the angelic hosts of God, surrounding you with His love that is unsearchable."Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned." - Song of Solomon 8:7"Nothing binds me to my Lord like a strong belief in His changeless love."- Charles Spurgeon

There are signs that cannot be ingored, unless you choose to ignore them. There are some signs that are more compelling than others and must be considered.On July 1, 2025 Jimmy Swaggart went home to be with the Lord. On that same day a friend had asked me if I knew that he had a vision and word from Jesus? I did not know anything about it so she sent it to me. I watched a video he had made in his very old age sharing what he saw and what Jesus said to him long ago. The things he saw were powerfully prophetic, and the words Jesus spoke to Him were none other than that of the great commission. The vision and words he received were on July 1, 1985 at 7:00 in the morning. The day he passed away was exactly on the same day, forty years to the day and nearly the very hour. He passed away at 7:30 in the morning. Perhaps God allowed that in order to show us there is, in a sense, a short thirty minute window of a grace period left regarding the final harvest of salvation. And the final work we have been given to do in the lives of others in the final yards we have left to go in this time right before the rapture.There is now an urgency I have never felt before in my whole life, and I have a great unction coupled with joy, and "that knowning the fear of God we persuade men." “The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.” ― C.T. Studd

Words are a powerful force and can profoundly affect individuals lives for the good or for the worse. The words that are most remembered are from those spoken at the end of their lives. Last words, by their very nature, carry a sense of finality. They are the last message a person imparts to the world, often containing reflections on their life, regrets, hopes, or warnings. Because they are spoken at a critical juncture, these words are often perceived as more significant and meaningful than pronouncements made during everyday life. The words of the dying are more remembered than the living because of their inherent finality. They are the final stamp of what their life was like on earth and of whom they served faithfully until the end. I have been often carried throughout life borne about by words of those saints that gave me strength and stamina, comfort and hope by those who lived hundreds and even thousands of years ago. Your own words will also echo from eternity in the lives you've spoken to while you lived in the earth. They will make all the difference in their rough journeys Home to heaven land."By them we, being dead still speak, and we speak in subtle forces which aid or hinder other pilgrims who are fighting their way to God and heaven." - J.

Many regard not to know and want to keep it that way and go on with church life as normal. But everything is far from normal.The recent event with Israel and Iran should be enough for all believers to stand up and take notice. We are in the literal final minutes of this church age and it cannot be denied. Immediately after the US government leveled a heavy blow to Iran, the most disturbing thing happened. Multitudes of "believers" came out strongly with the most blatant antisemitc rage.Since this last event antisemitism is now going to go off the Richter Scale. The Jews in Israel and all over the world are about to start experiencing the wrath and rage of people that hate them.Therefore, this is now the time we as the true believers need to pray for all Jews in Israel and abroad. They are about to be in the literal fight for their lives.This recent event was purported to bring so-called "peace" to the region, but there is no man on earth that will or can broker peace. The one who can will be Jesus Christ when He returns as The Prince of Peace. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah and He will renew His covenant with them as the "Chief of Nations.""Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

It is not only in prophetic view, but it is now tangible and palpable. One of the things that is occuring is the wide sweeping sense of time closing in by parents who have unsaved children and grandchildren.Many have been reaching out to me pleading for me to pray for them. The parents and and grandparents that are praying for their salvation are becoming weary and exhausted. They describe their offspring as so deeply lost, involved in the "course of this world," and want nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Yet these faithful parents go on praying even in long dark paths never seeing a change in them, even though they seem to get worse. However, as a mother myself of two grown sons, I can tell you I fought like a lionness for them. I always will. I understand the sorrows, pain and longevity of the wars and want to strongly encourage you to never give up. Never consider surrendering your formidable prayers. God will answer your thousands of prayers watered by tears. He is not finished with your children.He will save them to the uttermost..."To the utmost bounds of the everlasting hills.""The great fault of the children of God is, they do not continue in prayer; they do not go on praying; they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God's glory, they should pray until they get it." - George Muller

You start to outgrow the need for feedback and opinions of others. You lose the need to ask people what they think about your thoughts of the Lord or hunger to serve Him. The loadstone of your trust slowly departs from those around you into full fledged faith and trust in Jesus Christ and Him alone. It is not about bitterness or memories of things people did to you or good people you trusted. It has to do with maturing in relationship with Jesus Christ.A moment arises within you that is unexplainable and distinct. It is not only sharply recognized but disctinctly and spiritually felt. It does not happen over night but in your long journeying. It is nothing you can manufacture or work up. It does not orignate from you, but within you by God. This is developed in long paths of loneliness.It is a place of entering into full ownership of your faith and walk that brings in a sovereign peace and complete trust in God never before experienced. It is specially reserved for you in the time appointed. Be encouraged and keep on walking. It is only a short way now..."There was a day when I died; died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will; died to the world, its approval or censure; died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends; and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God."- George Muller

I raced to her bedside and saw a long lived life before me and she looked so little. I have been there daily in loving vigil watching over her. I felt such powerful love and I poured it out upon her in tender devotion.Isn't that the way love acts? Truly those who are the Lord's are full of His love. The kind of love that no matter who it is, friend or foe, when we hear of something terrible, it is God's love that explodes within and we flee to run in the path of the power His love. Love shows up in us, God is love.I love the words of Amy Carmichael:"As you pour forth power to help others, that power, if you are living deep in your Lord and Master and drinking deep of His Spirit, will pass into peace for others, help and healing and peace."We are servants of Jesus' love and what we do here in this life will go on into life everlasting."Every gentle word, every generous thought, every unselfish deed will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come.

What I saw most definitely reavealed the last darkest hours of this world. The church in thick darkness with chaos and confusion. People who were desperate for the true light only to be kept waiting in the bleak darkness, and it was the last hour of the day.I saw heaven and our soon entering into it. There is no way to adequately describe that heavenly country, what I saw and felt. The sequence of events that led up to the arrival to heaven were clear and plain and does not really need any interpretation.Heaven is no dream. It is a very real place that is being prepared for us to enter in all at once very soon. No man knows that day or hour, but we know "the times and seasons God placed in His hand." Not to mention there are so many men, women and even little children that are dreaming the same things all over the world. It seems that heaven is approaching and the earth is receding."God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home."- Charles Spurgeon
